Bought a rod licence for donkeys years now, would never not, but I have never been asked once for it in 30 odd yrs does get you a bit miffed at times
Paul - you fish in areas that don't recieve too much angling pressure, and long may that continue. I've had mine checked once and i'm sure the officer stalked me after making a similar post on the old BFW forum!
Ha ha, I'll keep quiet then, dont want people coming just for the sake of it. Have a good day tomorrow mate
He got me on a Park lake in Manchester! I had my licence as always and we had a good laugh to be honest. They just don't have the manpower to police the many miles of river bank we have at our disposal. If i had a quota of licences to check i would head straight for the nearest commercial, then the next and so on.
I follow what you say Paul. The EA take a risk approach to such matters that a given investment of personnels time will yield a probable result.
There is another angle mind that in reporting incidents they are being logged which might influence next years spend resulting in more fisheries personnel.
